I know that she got a scholarship from Terence but he does have a lot of students and the dance festival at Vienna is considered to be highly coveted. Also, this scholarship was no way associated with winning DID2 because it was announced after DID2 results so, Terence was no way bound to give it to her. Please also note that DID2 got over only 45 days ago and she is already on something big !
I am not comparing Aishwarya with Shakti but I am giving her example to point out that a person can use his/her fame along with their talent and good looks to get to even higher career objectives. I am no way saying that being a bollywood actress is better than being a famed dancer (So don't even try to misquote me on this!π) . I really have high hopes for Shakti for her talents and good looks and I don't care what Salman did or didn't do after winning DID1 !
As far as the old saying : Thank God for people who are not following this saying otherwise we would still be watching Shashi Kapoor rather than Ranbeer Kapoor if people just followed the popular choice of the time and never gave the first chance to a talented newcomer.π
BTW- Do always follow the majority vote or do you have your own instincts? Also,how do you know that Gracie and Anushka are born actresses?β
